IOU Bolivia

We went out to Chapare with a team from Bedford, New Hampshire. It was an amazing experience being out in the rainforest and being a part of construction for the orphanage. We did all sorts of things ranging from passing bricks in an assembly line to painting the church we are partnering with. We also had the opportunity to play with lots of kids from the surrounding village. We taught them games like Red Rover and handed out toys and candy!
Even though most of us know only a small amount of Spanish, it is always amazing to see how easy it is to communicate love without using words. The bright smiles on the faces of all the kids when we left was a testimony in and of itself about what we had communicated to them that day. It was simply amazing to see the way God is at work in the lives of the people in Chapare, and was such a privilege to be able to play even a small role in that.
